Great idea. I’m based in south UK so UK or West Europe would be great. But time/cost may not permit, so a web-based conference will please everyone! Also if the presentation videos are kept and made available online then anyone can watch them at their leisure…

I must agree with Simon that Belgium is the best location For one, i wont have to delocate too, only a matter of minutes on foot Secondly, the facilities can be found for free (universite libre de bruxelles), the ULB supports talks especially on open source and technology related and can offer free auditoriums on request (like at FOSDEM 2009) or if not the ESI (my college, Ecole Superieur d’Informatique) also supports talks and for free (such as the European Perl Talk 2008).. And lastly and most importantly, nothing beats belgian beer And if you like beer, no cafe beats the Delirium Cafe

Why not conduct a streaming live conference? I know there is a bit of a Euro/US time challenge, but the logistics and dollars(or marks or euros or pounds or rupies…..) make sense to do it that way.

There HAS to be some SAS company that does it.

Hoping you are able to do something in the UK – or at least something live via satalite… Let us know!

I would definitely be interested in not only attending a uSA based conference, but assist you however I can to make it happen.

If you’re going to do it in the USA, do it in Denver as it’s a major city and centrally located in the country. Also, I happen to live there.

Australia really is perfect (not too hot) this time of year, and cheap.
But if not, Belgium would be my next pick. (Not that I could afford a European trip in the near future.)

How about a video-conference between three hubs – US, Europe & Asia Pacific?

“I’m detecting quite a lot of support for the UK option here – I’ll be exploring options for the UK myself but for those of you who have preferences in this poll – go find yourselves a good local venue – and read the next post…”

I’m detecting more support for mainland-Europe.

Hmmm, I’m up in Eastern Canada (Quebec), so anything on US east coast works for me, Boston to NYC to DC…

Europe, I doubt my boss would pay for me to go to Europe for a CMSMS conference!

OR, come up to Canada, either in Montreal, Toronto, or Ottawa!

With the exchange rate being lower, I’m sure it would be more affordable to setup the conference
